Photographer's Note

Carlingford Castle, also known as King John's Castle is sited on a rock overlooking the town and harbour. It was built by the Normans after the invasion in 1169 to consolidate their hold on Ireland. Carlingford was probably built some time around 1200 by Hugh De Lacey although King John did stay there for 3 days in 1210.This is a link to my website

Kia ora Derek,
Great shot taken from a good point of view. The four birds emphasize the abandonment of the ruins. Looks a great place to explore. Miss these sorts of places in New Zealand. Cheers, Neil
